I covered all mine, did a bit of muppetspotting in the trainwreck and am going to call it a night, see y'all at the LO. It has been good and enjoyable here today, when I joined FF, this is the kind of thread I have always been looking for. A bit of shooting the crap and some good trading in between, kind of like any floor I have ever worked on. Even some of us old timers could actually benefit from this.
Great stuff, cloggie...the trades and your other comments! Its a fine joint we have going here!

Enjoy your night, brother...see you at LO!

Yep...doggie started barking...then pictures shook on the wall a little. There is a big construction site less than a block away at the moment...pile-driver shite...early stages of the build. Thought it was something from there.

In Toronto myself...felt it.

Not huge, but again...if something was in the perfect/wrong place...could spell structural trouble.

Starting to hear sirens...but could be anything.

Same here... probably why I didn't notice it. The building I work on is being expanded by two floors... so I have been use to vibrations, loud noises, big things being dropped all summer long.

The earthquake’s epicenter was between Charlottesville and Richmond, Va., the USGS reported. It was a very shallow quake, 3.7 miles deep, which would explain why it was so widely felt.

Ah, explains the widespread feltness of it.

A-ha...shallow one.

Can be trouble for buildings...doesn't need to be huge on the scale when so shallow.

I think if we hold above 4419 we may see some decent upside but below 19 and we risk testing 4390 again. So I am long (4428) now unless 4419ish gives.

I can't say I really understand the sellers at 28 here. I popped in a long at 4413, but there just isn't enough to move at the moment. Sellers, or algos or whatever it is are pretty firm at the moment.

Edit: Just looked at community sentiment. 63% bias to the short side.
